One of President Obama’s most ardent liberal supporters has defected from ObamaCare.

Rep. Jared Polis, D-Boulder, told a Colorado health policy think tank that ObamaCare premiums will be too expensive for some of the wealthiest addresses in America — ski resorts like Breckenridge and Keystone.

He says he’s asking the feds to let them sit out the president’s national health system.

“We will be encouraging a waiver,” Polis told Health Policy Solutions in a story that ran today. “It will be difficult for Summit County residents to become insured. For the vast majority, it’s too high a price to pay.”

The resorts are in Summit County and Aspen is in a neighboring county, which Polis also represents. He has consistently voted in favor of ObamaCare.

Polis also wrote to Colorado’s insurance commissioner asking why an average 40-year-old mountaintop resident would have to fork over $427.80 a month while counterparts in Denver would pay $296.41 for the same plan.

So, let’s get this straight: He voted for Obamacare, the price of insurance went up dramatically for his constituents, and his response is to exempt his constituents while sticking the rest of the country with higher prices instead of just rolling the bill back for everyone.

I think someone should file a class action lawsuit against the federal government for discrimination. Allowing some to be exempt and not others is discrimination as is different rates (insurance) for different people. There is no way this is constitutional no matter what the supreme court says…

Fire Obama, fire Obama’s HHC Secretary, Everyone that vote for the SNAFU needs to be fired! EXEMPT anyone my butt! America is against Obama Care in the first place so hell no! We have worked all of our lives to support the rich & elite, now it is time for them to give back. Part of the Debt should be to pay Back the $$$$ that was STOLEN FROM SOCIAL SECURITY by the politicians!

Of course he wants this because now he’s going to get his ass kicked in the next election. I guess Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, aren’t the boobs, but McCain, Graham, Cordyn and several other Senate Republicans are eating crow now. Also, all the Senate Democrats who are up for election in 2014 and Joe Mancin who isn’t up for election, but whose state, W.Va. has turned Republican, is trying to cover his ass, they’re all now pushing for a delay in the individual mandate. Obama is not about to do that because he won’t do anything that makes him look bad.
